<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The role of the educational technology coach is not clearly understood by many of the individuals who are outside of the role. This causes problems, as funding is diverted, which leads to these roles being cut or never created; or the individuals who fill these roles are asked to perform tasks that pull them away from their most impactful work: supporting teachers and helping improve teaching and learning. This book proposes a framework that is flexible in its implementation, but clear in defining the actionable steps that this role can take to have the greatest impact. In short, this book can be a catalyst for helping districts and schools develop a structure for educational technology coaching to promote growth in digital teaching and learning"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Develop the strategies and structure you need as an edtech coach to focus on the coaching, professional development and focused support that can lead to real change.</b> <p/> K-12 schools worldwide are now evaluating how to better prepare for a disruption like the one caused by COVID-19.
